They paid for the floor to be re-sanded. So I called Damien and he did the job on Wednesday. He came at 7 and 9:15. I was quite surprised that he can finish the re-sanding and polishing in 2 hours for 115 sq meters. At late afternoon, we disocvered there was a shoe print on the floor and the floor started to have lots of bubbles on the surface. When teh floor was dry yesterday mornign, we discovered there are many area that the finish was uneven and we cna see ther roller mark etc and there are areas with residue and is rough to touch. Damien came and inspect and said that he will re-sand the main area when he come back to do our downstairs. But he gave us a lot of excuses/reasons. After he left, hubby and I discussed, this is very basic job and he cannot so it well. So we decided that we will only ask him to come backc to fix up the upstairs first before he work on the downstairs. If he cannto fix it, I don't want him to stuff up my downstairs. So hubby called him today and ask him to do the upstairs with the same smooth finish. But Damien said that he actually is not very familar with the Swedish Syneto Classic finish and he only uses it a couple of times a year and he cannot finish the floor as smoothly as our original floor inish. So he did not tell us the truth and took up this job. Very disappointing with him. Has anyone of you noticed any bubbles/blisters and residues on your floor that have been done by Damien ? Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 279Feb 05, 2010 12:19 pm Wow, I haven't visited my thread so long. Good to be back Behw, Sorry to hear about your experience with Damien. He did our floor and it still good great....well, apart from some of the scratches and dents caused by my soon-to-be three year old boy. The finish Damien used he called oil modified. I did not request any specific brand. I only requested it to be low gloss. I do have some minor residues from the finish. But they are very minor, and I am not bothered at all. Building Clarendon Brighton - Done and moved in Sept 2009 Re: Clarendon Brighton - Builder done, my turn to finish it off! 280Feb 05, 2010 12:30 pm Eho, Thanks for letting me know. I have since spoken to another flooring company about the problem and they told me that this is reaction and Damien must have used a different product (not Synteko). Synteko is expensive. But as my floor has all this blisters, to resolve the problem, I have sand the floor to raw timbe and have to pay $27.50 per sq metre. So be careful next time when you need to have a light sand on it as the old and new finish have to be compatible. How is everythign with your C home. C has to redo the tiling for my whole balcony as the slope is not right and the water is go out to my facade. There is a little roof area that C has to come out and I think they will have to redo the roof as the fascia is falling. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15521 4 14642 Building Standards; Getting It Right!
